Self-Care In Depression. 💙

Depression can sound like, "I'm weak because I need extra rest", and then that can lead to a spiral of thoughts such as, "other people don't need to have extra rest, other people are able to get loads done. Why aren't I as good as those people? Why am I not good enough?" 💙

It's important to short-circuit loops like that, loops of negative thoughts. It's okay to have extra rest once in a while. 💙

If your body needs extra rest then it's self-care to get extra rest and self-care should be encouraged because it helps support both our mental and physical health. 💙
